I got a 99 saturn SC1 2dr coupe that a lady had that was wrecked a little in the front.. I am 99% posative the turn signals worked on way home... i had to replace the headlights, hood, windshield, front bumper cover, and the top radiator support and about 6" ov the sides to get everything back to normal again. ( nice police man wired hood down and it flew up n busted hood and windshield lol) anyhow... my problem.....
blinkers did not work... so i assumed fuse and replaced it and when you turn key on POP goes fuse... i thought i had got a wire messed up weldin the front back on and took all loom and tape off of wireing from all turn bulbs and side marker lights to where the loom goes under the fuse box under hood on firewall.... everything looks perfect. i have NO CLUE what to do here..
friend of mine said to sell it.. his mom had a sc1 would pop fuses when u turned switch on.. changed both fuse boxes, lights, sockets column.. sold it with problem unsolved... since i just got the car and its all fixed now cant sell it...
someone pleaes help me out here i have no idea what to try or change or whatever......
(not sure if relavent... wiper fuse was partly pulled out when i first brought car home... pushed in fuse.. no smoke rose... but wipers would wipe window like 5 sec or so when you turnedkey on even with switch not on... since fuse is not in turn signal box in consol.. they dont do that now.. not sure if thats a coincidence or what???

Double check your wireing again. Turn signals do not include the side markers on stock s-series.
You have a short somewhere. Grab a multimeter to be sure you have voltages at each bulb (headlings included)

Everything is stock as far as i am aware of.
well i have a multimeter.. but not very skilled with useing it.. how can i test the wires if i cant turn key on to get power in the turn signal systembecause it blows the fuse????? i didnt check the wireing from the headlight plugs to the main harness assumed that has nothing to do with it because its the turn signal fuse thats blowing.
headlight do function properly.. hi /lo and daytime lights.
if you can explain how to do this tests i would appreciate it.
